Off the Shoulder Tunic – Weekly Pin Project #33

Hi! Looks like you're new here? If you like to stay in touch, you could follow me on Bloglovin or Instagram . Thanks for visiting!

Some selfish sewing again! I discovered Everything Your Mama Made a while ago in one of the many sewing related Facebook groups I frequent and was a fan immediately. Simple, non-frumpy, clothes in huge size ranges, often available for kids and adults.

Inspired by this pin I chose to start with the Off the Shoulder Tunic for myself. I used a silver grey nicky velours, lovely soft, stretchy and drapy. According to the helpful lady in the fabric store, this kind of fabric was more for sleepwear, but since I love comfortable clothes and fell in love with the colour, I chose this one anyways.

The construction of the gathered cowl had me scratching my head for a while, but as often, just doing and following the instructions it all worked out fine.

I made size M, based on chest measurements, which suits fine, but next time I am going to taper down to a size S for bodice and sleeves. Since I’m quite tall, 1.79m, I added a cuff to sleeves and bodice. The band below turned out a bit tight, causing almost a bubble-dress effect, not sure if I will take it off again and do the tapering on the bodice after all, but it is definately wearable and I’m very happy with it!
